About the role
Column is hiring for a Digital Assets Compliance role to define, build, and operate Column's compliance framework for its crypto products. The GENIUS Act and other federal guidelines have started to clarify how banks can provide digital asset services. Against this backdrop, Column is looking for someone to support the ongoing development of practical systems that protect the bank while enabling innovation. This isn't a box-checking compliance role.
What they're looking for
- 4-5+ years of experience in financial crimes compliance, with at least 3 years working on digital assets, crypto, or blockchain-related compliance, must include some experience in investigations
- Expert knowledge of BSA/AML requirements and how they apply to digital assets under existing regulatory and industry standards
- Strong understanding of stablecoin mechanics, blockchain technology, and crypto payment flows
- First-principles thinker who can design robust systems from scratch, not just operate existing playbooks
- Strong technical aptitude — comfortable working with engineering teams to build compliance into product architecture
- Comfortable operating in ambiguity and making risk-based decisions with incomplete information
More about this role
For companies building financial technology and transforming the financial services space, the biggest bottleneck to their growth and innovation is often the underlying banks and infrastructure stack they rely on. We have spent our careers founding and scaling companies like Plaid, Square, Meta, Blend, and Affirm, and have seen this problem firsthand — builders and developers needing to partner with traditional banks, and creating API and abstraction layers over the patchwork that is the bank, its core, and many other vendors. All of this results in a complex (and often expensive) banking supply chain involving a user, fintech, BaaS middleware provider, bank, core and the Federal Reserve.
At Column, we set out to simplify and fix this. We are a bank and a software company built from the ground up, offering builders and developers technology-forward banking solutions that cut out the hundreds of vendors, middleware providers, and abstraction layers. This means a safer, more transparent, and less costly banking supply chain. Come build with us!
